Happy HR Professionals Day!

Today, we celebrate the humans who take care of our humans, so they can take care of other humans. That’s a lot of humans! Fortunately for us, we have an amazing HR team that can handle ALL of it!

From hiring to onboarding to training, to paperwork and policies and handbooks, this dedicated group keeps the house of GentleBrook in order.

Beyond all the paperwork, our HR team also serves as mediators, mentors, cheerleaders for our wins, and a safe place to share our struggles + frustrations. Humans can be a lot to deal with, but they do it and they do it well! We are so grateful for our HR team and thank them for all that they do for us. 🫶

📄 A special announcement about GentleBrook Greenhouse and Farm!

Hello, friends!

We have some news to share with you. After seven years of ownership, GentleBrook has sold the greenhouse to Shannon + Judd Allen, owners of Bloom Hill Farm.

Originally owned and operated by Barb + Jerry Miller as Miller's Greenhouse, this greenhouse has been a part of the local community for over four decades. We are so grateful for our chapter in the greenhouse's story, and while this change is bittersweet, we are excited to pass on the greenhouse's legacy to Shannon and Judd.

What comes next?!

🪴 We are still OPEN, but this will be our *final* retail season. We will remain open for sales on Thursdays, Fridays, + Saturdays through September and into the beginning of October. More details to come in regards to a closeout sale.

🪴 Our adult day service program will be relocating later this fall. More details to come on that as well!

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many people who have been part of the GentleBrook Greenhouse story:

🌱 Barb and Jerry Miller -- Thank you for choosing to partner with us in 2012 and for trusting GentleBrook with the next chapter of the greenhouse.

🌱 Our amazing retail staff, aka "the ladies" -- Your skills, expertise and dedication allowed us to continue providing the level of service and care established under Barb + Jerry.

🌱 YOU, our wonderful customers! We are so grateful for your patronage, support and friendship through the years.

🌱 Our volunteers + community partners -- Thank you for supporting our mission and the individuals we serve.

Lastly, we encourage you to follow Bloom Hill Farm on Facebook and Instagram, as well as sign up for their newsletter: https://bloomhillfarm.com/newsletter-signup/

This will be the best way to stay informed of all the exciting things to come.

Thank you + have a wonderful evening. 💙
